Hidden treasure

There are many hidden treasure buried in thousands of apps in iTunes Store. This is definitely one of top hidden gem.
There are a lot of people like me use this app everyday for chem related materials. Everyone speak up. Keep the good updates coming.

Documentation

I feel that this is an excellent program for the organic chemist. However, I am still trying to figure out how to use the program. For example, when "drawing" a molecule how do I adjust the bond angles? There seems to be NO documentation about the workings of this program, as it doesn't seem to be intuitive. I have a lot of questions on how to perform certain actions in the program. A Google search led me to a Chinese site with no info whatsoever. Some online documentation would be very helpful. It seems like an awesome program, but hard to understand.

Stop changing my molecule!

I'd give this app 5 stars if it didn't change the look of my molecule every time after I save it!

Be better

Does the software automatically adjusts the atomic distance?? Because I do it the atomic model shape is very strange, some computer software have this function. I hope I spend money to buy this software allow me to get the quality. Finally, I look forward to this software to support Chinese.

Finally!!!

They brought back the auto-optimization.
